$20 180 man bubble hand

[allaboutheu]

I'm sitting ~15/19 18 get paid only top 4 or 5 get decent change though. My friend told me its an easy fold and to let someone else bust the bubble, its probably a coinflip etc etc. I think I have some fold equity especially because it is the bubble and I have him outchipped here as well not to mention I have a pretty good hand here and am playing to win, not cash.

What do you guys think is the best play here? Pretty cut and dry I'm sure but I don't know which way, thanks.

All in, fold is beyond terrible. If you are lucky and this guy thinks along the same lines as your friend you make him fold some coin-flip hands which is great.

PS. Is this post for real?

I shove 66 there AJ etc there.

More like: Is this post from someone who either

A. Is playing over his bankroll and ITM means too much causing him to fold his edges.

B. Someone who got called down and bubbled out by QQ+ or AQ+ and wanted to know if he should be risking his chips.

C. Someone who just felt buggy about the way he played a hand, win or lose.

My bet is that it's B 86% of the time and A and C about 7% each.

Because that's the ratio I'd use for all hand posts on 2+2.

lol at mj's post I love it!

A. false playing w/ over 100 buyins for that level and I didn't care about cashing as I stated, wanted to win it

B. Yes got called by a hand dominating me

C. Yes, it seeemed kind of strange to me his just over 2.5x raising while having under 10bbs.

But really the reason is, I rarely ever play mtts and will admit I'm pretty bad at them. I thought it was the easiest shove in the world but had 2 other people tell me it wasn't (without them knowing the results) so I was just looking for some verification, I'm very non-results oriented.

Shaundeeb: same tourney you won a few hours ago, you played very well congrats.

Thanks for the info guys.

Some people limp min-raise when they should push when they are strong, very strong and some cause they are clue-less you will never know which one is true, and your hand is to good to let it go.

As everyone suspected this post belongs more into the bad-beat forum anyway

[RichC.]

shove. but for the record, his raise with his stack says he has a monster and isnt folding.

[allaboutheu]

badbeat forum maybe if i was complaining or had the aa and lost but i got it in w/ the worst hand and just wanted to know if i made the right play or not. when you have pretty much just started playing mtts again and don't play a lot of them, one likes to get feedback on his big hands.

Thank you for everyone for answered my ?. Mods can lock thread if you want.

I didnt intend to be rude, just wanted to say hey ship happens ntohing you can do.

I had similar situation on the final table bubble in a big MTT (described it on 2+2 about 2 days ago). I know you feel bitter but you made the right decision, because as I wrote earlier.

A) He tried to suck someone in with a monster
B) He plays this AK, AQ or some other hand to gain more respect.
C) He is clueless.

B&amp;C are ofteen enough to push 99+ here

[SuperUberBob]

I shove and hope for AK.
